Abstract Dunaliella salina ( D. ) has been exploited as a novel expression system for the field of genetic engineering. However, owing to low or inconsistent target proteins, it greatly restricted practical production recombinant proteins. Since accurate gene editing function clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas system, ?-carotene hydroxylase was chosen an examp...

one of the important bottle-necks in production of microalgae based biodiesel is thelack of an efficient method for harvesting of microalgae from the culture medium. in thisstudy, the electroflocculation method was developed for harvesting of microalgaedunaliella cells from culture medium. the effect of several parameters such as thecurrent density, electrical conductivity of culture medium, ti...

Harmful algae may differently affect their primary grazers, causing sub-lethal effects and/or leading to their death. The present study aim to compare the effects of three toxic benthic dinoflagellates on clearance and grazing rates, behavioral changes, and survival of Artemia salina. Feeding assays consisted in 1-h incubations of brine shrimps with the toxic Prorocentrum lima, Gambierdiscus ex...
